Stop Making These Common Tire Mistakes 

To quote Phil Connors, Bill Murray’s character in the movie Groundhog Day, “It's the same thing your whole life: ‘Clean up your room. Stand up straight. Pick up your feet. Take it like a man. Be nice to your sister. Don't mix beer and wine, ever.’ Oh yeah: ‘Check your tire’s air pressure everyday. Use the right tires for the job. Don’t buy on price. And don’t wait until the last minute." Okay, we made the last part up, but Groundhog Day resonates with us because we see so many people in the field stuck in a cycle of repeating the same errors. Help us break the loop by stopping these common mistakes.

Five New Tire Styles Released Last Year

We make application-specific tires, purpose-built to solve the problems our customers face every day on the job. In some cases, solving an issue facing a customer might simply involve introducing them to a tire that already exists in our extensive lineup; in other cases, it involves working with our customers and our R&D team to bring a new tire to market. In 2017, we launched five new tire styles—including a “world’s first”—and introduced an entirely new brand of truck tires. Keep reading to see why 2017 may have been one of our best tire-development years ever! 

The Galaxy Mighty Mow tire line was expanded this week to include the new Mighty Mow-TS, available now to build the spring 2018 Galaxy turf tire lineup. The announcement this week brings the company’s long-admired pro turf tire to smaller commercial mowers with rims sized from 8 to 12 inches, as well as a 22.5-inch option.

Our Global Influence 

Anyone who has spent much time traveling knows the comfort a little touch of home can provide. For some travelers, it’s as ordinary as a pillow or a favorite television show loaded onto an iPad. For others, it may be the sight of the iconic golden arches of McDonald’s and the prospect of a Big Mac after a few days of exotic and unfamiliar food. For some of our frequent fliers, it’s the sight of an Alliance, Galaxy, or Primex tire outside of the U.S. that serves as a comforting reminder of home—especially if it’s on a machine that would feel at place in America’s heartland.
